Birds are a symbol of freedom because they can walk the earth, swim in the sea, and fly in the sky. Birds act as the connection between heaven and earth. Thus it is also a symbol of eternal life.
Exquisite design with impeccable attention to detail. Akiko Fuchigami's work is of the highest quality and will delight any connoisseur. I have the small owls. They are lovely and keep me company on important occasions.
After first visiting the online shop I fell in love with the miniature animals that make you happy by first glance. But it´s not only the positive emotion, it´s also the attitude - the appreciation of nature and all its inhabitants - that you can see in this fine jewelry.
One personal note: Dear Akiko, thank you so much for your support and the excellent communication - you´re an outstanding artist and an extremely kind person. The time I will come to New York City I hope we´ll be able to meet in person. Best regards from Europe (without any doubt I´m going to be lifetime customer :-).
I have purchased 3 times from AF House. The first was from a store on the Upper West Side (A.Tempo) which sold her jewelry. My friend and I became obsessed with the owl necklace. We then found her website and I have ordered twice from her directly. Everything from the packaging, to the customer service, to the quality of the jewelry has been impeccable. The necklaces are great to layer, and I have received many compliments on all of them. The jewelry is beautiful, unique, and I love supporting a designer with such talent as well as such amazing customer service!
